I'm doing an exam question " Describe two explanations of Schizophrenia" set as a 10 marker. Is this a possible exam question? I feel the question asks too much to write for 10 marks ( 13 minute answer) Can anyone tell me how detailed both explanations have to be and how much to write? I'm writing about the dopamine hypothesis and Structural abnormalities. Also are 20 markers possible to get in the exam?

Hi! I'm about to go into A2 exams for this paper and I've seen this question come up in past papers. My teacher told me to learn one assumption in enough detail for 10 marks and the other in enough detail for 5 marks (just so you have all your bases covered).

So for a 10 mark question like this put down both assumptions in enough detail for 5 marks each!

Hopefully this helps and wasnt just more confusing haha
